Hi everyone and welcome to the 2nd day in Charleston
it's not raining today, it's quite nice today
still 90% humidity
We're on our way to pick up the car we rented
and we're going to go to visit
it was a rice plantation
as we explained yesterday, there was
it was an economy based on slavery
so here we go, we're going to visit it and we're taking you with us
here we are with the car, we got a cute little Jeep
Let's go to the plantation
hey !
hiii
Here we are at Boone Hall Plantation
the oldest working plantation in the States
so we're going to visit the house
the spaces where slaves used to live
if you like nature
and if you like pecan
it's a pecan tree, and pecans grow here
in this little green thing
it's just right here
voilĂ , just need to pick them up
and make a pie
So, we're coming to the end of the visit, here where they
used to stock the cotton
so I hope that you enjoyed the
visit of the oldest working plantation in the U.S.
to remind you, here
we learned that they used to make bricks, indigo, cotton, pecans
at its height, this plantation had more than 300 slaves
which is crazy
We discovered with the songs we heard in the video the Gullah culture
it was when the African people were taken from Africa to the U.S.
who created the language
and the culture
with all the African cultures brought here
it was so interesting
so I hope you enjoyed it
Let's continue our day here in South Carolina
Here we go back in the car, we're heading to ...
Shem Creek
to go and eat a little something
and we'll be close to the beach, right?
I think so !
And about the weather... Still the tropical depression
it rains on and off,
but it's still super hot
and humid
and sun is back !
it's so beautiful
We're here in Shem Creek and it's so beautiful, I'm going to show you
With small houses, quite nice
but small... small and discreet
It's beautiful outside ! It's beautiful !
We're heading to the beach, we're going to have a picnic
get tan and enjoy !
it's so nice !
We're coming back from the beach
we swam, the weather is beautiful
The difference of weather between this morning and this afternoon is crazy !
such a good afternoon
- What do you think ? - Well, I'm so happy
It's was probably, one of the things
that I wanted to do the most
I was so scared that with the weather we wouldn't be lucky but...
It's beautiful !
